Do you plan on doing just 91 or 135 stuff as well. The reason why I ask is because if you plan on 135 you'll need a check ride and I believe the FAA wants it in the specific model but I could be wrong about the king airs. They used to allow the 1900 and 350 to be the same type, but call the local FSDO and see what they say.

I saw a Legacy 600 where the going rate on average was around $1000/day + expenses... but the owner refused to pay greater than $300. And he found typed pilots to do it.
It can be mean out there.

WOW!! $125.00!! Almost not worth leaving the house for, no matter what part of the country your house is in. As far as the insurance, I've had insurance companies agree to cover me in the 90 series, with my annual 200/350 recurrent training, but they would have preferred I had 90 specific training. The plane owner was insistent. We all know a King Air is a King Air, but don't count on insurance companies agreeing.

Guys read the entire thread, he is being paid to sit right seat. This isn't rocket science, hes not going to get $500/day for it. It would be nice to see that but I don't think that will ever happen. Lets say the average king air fo makes $40,000/yr. divide that by 200 days and thats $200 per day. Thats the point of contract people, its supposed to be more cost efficient than salary. If you work someone 200 days a year it would be better to just put them on salary. Now $125/day is low but I highly doubt these guys are qualified to fly left seat, like a 135 check ride or training at flight safety. The good news is he's being paid, hopefully what he's worth. There are plenty of kids with SJS who would do it for free or even worse pay to sit there.

Your right $125 for the right seat is low, but Im also flying a baron left seat for more $. I've got caught in the "Contract pilot" deal with my company. Now however when companies are starting to evaluate their balance sheets, I hope I will be able to weather the storm with my food stamps and mac and cheese.
With alot of fellow pilots losing their jobs and waiting in hiring pools, the only swimming I want to be doing is out back in the lake with my buddies and a cold beer.

$125 is a disgrace! If the company thinks enough of his ability to put him in the aircraft he should get around $300/day, maybe $350. I get $500 for occasional right seat in the Beechjet under Part91, New York area.

Is this position for Ops specs, or insurance? I was paid $75/day for this position, but it was only insurance requirements. We are talking a Be20 here folks, not something that requires 2 people. Depending on where you're located, it probably could/should be more, but honestly and obviously it's not a long-term position.

Yes, I have been insured as PIC on a 200 and 90 but only went to school on the 350.
